It’s not pizza. It’s chef Michael Hanna’s brilliant take on the pronounce-it-if-you-can Sicilian flatbread called sfincione (“svyn-cho-nay”) — hefty focaccia-thick slabs, laced with melted fontina, finished with Pecorino and seasoned breadcrumbs, and topped with everything from tomato sauce and crabmeat to artichokes with roasted garlic — and we can’t get enough.
